Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing a carbonized liquid.
  • the device and the method serve in particular to provide the carbonized liquid on a sanitary fitting.
  • CO2 carbon dioxide
  • the carbonizer presses the CO2 into the liquid, especially under high pressure.
  • the carbonator is connected to a CO2 container in the form of a CO2 cylinder in which the CO2 is kept for the carbonator.
  • the CO2 container must be replaced with a full CO2 container after it has been emptied.
  • the disadvantage of this is that this has to be done relatively frequently with a high consumption of the carbonized liquid, so that the known devices require a high level of maintenance.
  • CO2 containers are known which have a particularly high capacity for CO2 of, for example, 2 kg (kilograms). With such a CO2 container, up to 350 I (liters) of the carbonated liquid can be produced.
  • the transport costs and storage costs of such large CO2 containers are very expensive because they have to be declared as dangerous goods.
  • a device for producing a carbonized liquid which has a carbonizer for adding CO2 to a liquid, contributes to this, wherein the carbonizer can be connected to a plurality of CO2 containers.
  • the proposed device can in particular be connected to a sanitary fitting which is arranged, for example, on a wash basin or sink.
  • the carbonated liquid can be drawn off and / or filled into a drinking vessel, such as a bottle, glass or mug, by means of the sanitary fitting.
  • the sanitary fitting can in particular be used to draw at least one further liquid, such as cold water, warm water, mixed water and / or hot water (for example with a hot water temperature of 95 ° C. (Celsius) to 100 ° C. warm water)
  • the device can in particular be arranged below the mounting surface of the sanitary fitting, for example in a cupboard, and / or with the sanitary fitting via a fluid line, for example after Kind of a flexible hose.
  • the device has a carbonizer which, in particular in a housing of the device, in particular with other components of the device, for example a filter for a liquid, a cooler for the liquid, a heater for the liquid, fluid lines for the liquid and / or a (in particular electronic) control of the device.
  • the liquid can in particular be (drinking) water.
  • the device or the carbonator can be connected to a liquid source, for example a water pipe connected to a public water supply network.
  • the liquid can be supplied with CO2 by means of the carbonator, in particular under high pressure, so that the CO2 dissolves in the water and / or at least partially reacts with the water to form carbonic acid.
  • the carbonator can be connected to a plurality of CO2 containers, through which the CO2 can be supplied to the carbonizer for producing the carbonized liquid.
  • the CO2 is stored in the CO2 containers under pressure in a storage chamber.
  • the CO2 containers are designed in particular in the manner of a CO2 cylinder.
  • the CO2 containers have in particular a storage capacity for CO2 of less than 2 kg, preferably less than 1 kg, particularly preferably 0.4 to 0.5 kg or very particularly preferably 0.45 kg. It should be noted that for safety reasons the CO2 containers are not regularly filled with CO2 up to their capacity limit. For example, CO2 containers with a storage capacity for CO2 of 0.45 kg are regularly filled with only 0.425 kg CO2.
  • the CO2 in a full CO2 container has a pressure of 55 to 60 bar, preferably 57 bar, at 20 ° C (Celsius).
  • the comparatively low storage capacity of the CO2 containers is compensated for by a corresponding number of CO2 containers.
  • the number of containers can be, for example, two to ten CO2 containers, preferably two to six CO2 containers or particularly preferably four CO2 containers. All carbon dioxide containers empty themselves simultaneously and / or evenly when the liquid is carbonized. In particular, this means that when the liquid is carbonized, the pressure of the CO2 in all CO2 tanks drops evenly.
  • a valve can be provided for each CO2 container, which can (temporarily) prevent specific CO2 containers from being emptied.
  • valves can in particular on the device, be arranged on an adapter for the CO2 containers or on the CO2 containers.
  • the level or the pressure of the CO2 in the CO2 containers can in particular be monitored manually, for example with at least one pressure gauge, or electronically.
  • the solution proposed here can on the one hand reduce the maintenance outlay for the device for producing the carbonized liquid and on the other hand can reduce the storage and transport costs for the CO2 containers, because these are not considered dangerous goods due to their (low) storage capacity.
  • the device can have a plurality of connections for the plurality of CO2 containers.
  • the connections can, for example, be arranged on the housing of the device and / or have a thread.
  • the CO2 containers can be fluidly connected to the carbonator via the connections.
  • the CO2 containers can be connected directly or indirectly (for example via at least one fluid line) to the connections or screwed to the connections.
  • the number of connections can be expandable. This can mean that the number of connections can be increased and / or reduced depending on the CO2 requirement of the device.
  • the connections can be designed as couplable modules that can be lined up directly or indirectly.
  • provided connections can be designed to be (separately) lockable or (separately) releasable.
  • the plurality of connections can be arranged on an adapter.
  • the use of an adapter is particularly advantageous if the device or the carbonizer has only one connection for CO2.
  • the carbonator can be connected to a plurality of CO2 tanks through the adapter.
  • the plurality of connections on the adapter can open into a common fluid line of the adapter.
  • the common fluid line is then, for example, via an adapter connection of the adapter another fluid line connectable to the carbonator.
  • the adapter can, for example, comprise a block which (essentially and / or at least partially) is cubic or cuboid.
  • the adapter can at least partially consist of metal, such as brass.
  • the adapter can comprise at least one adapter element that can be fluidly connected to other adapter elements.
  • the number of connections for the CO2 container can be expanded particularly by adding additional adapter elements.
  • the at least one adapter element can be designed, for example, in the manner of the block already described.
  • the individual adapter elements can (essentially) be of identical design.
  • the individual adapter elements can be connected to one another with connecting pieces, for example in the manner of fluid lines, hose lines or pipes. The connecting pieces can in particular be screwed to the adapter elements.
  • each adapter element can (exactly) have two connections.
  • the adapter can have a valve.
  • closing the valve prevents the CO2 containers connected to the adapter from emptying when the adapter is detached from the carbonator.
  • the valve can be actuated by a user of the device, for example via a lever.
  • At least one check valve can be arranged between the carbonator and the plurality of CO2 containers.
  • the device preferably has at least one non-return valve per CO2 container.
  • the at least one check valve can be arranged in the adapter, in particular in a fluid line formed in the adapter or on a connection arranged on the adapter.
  • each CO2 container can have the at least one check valve.
  • the at least one check valve in particular prevents that CO2 can flow back to the CO2 tanks. If one of the CO2 containers is detached from the device or the adapter, the at least one non-return valve can prevent the remaining CO2 containers attached to the device or the adapter from emptying.
  • At least one residual pressure valve can be arranged between the carbonizer and the plurality of CO2 containers.
  • the residual pressure valve can be arranged, for example, in the adapter, in a fluid line that connects the adapter to the carbonator, or in each of the CO2 containers.
  • the at least one residual pressure valve automatically closes a gas space of the CO2 container when the pressure in the CO2 container falls below a certain value, for example 2 bar. The remaining residual pressure prevents the ingress of air humidity and / or contamination into the gas space of the CO2 container.
  • the residual pressure valve can also be designed in the manner of a pressure reducer.
  • a pressure of the CO2 can be reduced by the pressure reducer, so that the carbonator is only pressurized with a pressure of the CO2 that does not exceed a permissible limit value.
  • step a) a device according to the invention for producing the carbonized liquid is provided in particular.
  • step b) this is connected to a plurality of CO2 containers, so that a carbonizer of the device can be supplied with CO2 from the CO2 containers.
  • step c) a liquid, in particular water, is emitted with CO2 to the CO2 tanks or CO2 is added to the liquid.
  • a multi-way valve for connecting a plurality of CO2 containers to a carbonator of a (drinking) water sanitary fitting is proposed, so that the CO2 can optionally be supplied from one of the CO2 containers by means of the carbonator to a liquid which can be dispensed via the sanitary fitting.
  • the configuration of the multi-way valve reference is made in particular to the preferred configurations of the plurality of connections and / or the adapter.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a device 1 for producing a carbonized liquid in a schematic representation.
  • the device 1 comprises a carbonator 2 and an adapter 11.
  • the adapter 11 has a first connection 7 for a first CO2 container 3, a second connection 8 for a second CO2 container 4, a third connection 9 for a third CO2 container 5 and a fourth connection 10 for a fourth CO2 container 6.
